As he called for a swift declaration of the March 2nd General Elections using the recount votes which he said is inevitable, CARICOM Chairman and Prime Minister of St. Vin-cent and the Grenadines (SVG) Ralph Gonsalves yesterday warned that subverting the democratic process will be met with disapproval of the regional body.
“Those who want to subvert, anyone who wants to subvert the broad daylight free and fair elections would have to face the disapproval [of] the people of the Caribbean Community and the leaders of the Caribbean Community. CARICOM has already decided that. I am not speaking out of turn. CARICOM has made these declarations,” Gonsalves told the Stabroek News in an exclusive interview via telephone yesterday.
Gonsalves, who was appointed as Chairman of CARICOM this month, was one of four heads of states who visited Guyana under the leadership of then Chairperson, Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley and helped broker the agreement for the recount.
